Prefatory Note, Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The first part of .this Review commemorates the founding of New Glarus one hundred and fifty years ago. The farewell address of Caspar Jenny (1812- 1860), a leading Glarnese citizen, speaks to us today as it did to the parting emigrants. The diary entry of Nildaus Durst (1797-1874), one of the two scouts who, after an extended journey through the Midwest, selected the land for the Glarnese emigrants, conveys some of the quiet excitement he felt during New Glarus' very first days. Jessica T. Skropanic, a New Glarnese at heart, offers a sober summary of the town's evolution and the …

New Glarus: Past Success And Future Challenges, Jessica T. Skropanic

Swiss American Historical Society Review

New Glarus had a good foundation for colonization. It had financial support from the sending society via the Emigration Society of Glarus. It was settled in a pleasant location with the resources necessary to gain a good start. Also, the surrounding communities were supportive of colonization. Many people from these communities were of German or Swiss origin and could speak the language fluently. This helped the newcomers to feel some connection with their new environment. The founders came in nuclear family units. This benefitted them in several ways. First, there was the emotional support family members gave to each other. …

Book Review: Mari Sandoz: A Study In Post-Colonial Discourse, Elizabeth Blair

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Laura R. Villiger' s study is an ambitious and largely successful attempt to reposition this Swiss-American writer in light of contemporary post-colonial literary theory.

Book Review: Captain Wirz. Eine Chronik. Ein Dokumentarischer Roman., Leo Schelbert

Swiss American Historical Society Review

This work, part novel, part chronicle, part historical reconstruction, pursues the thesis: "All involved with Andersonville were in the main pushed, manipulated, cheated" (189). This tale of misfortune has no heroes: Its central character is Henry Wirz, who for some months towards the end of his life was commander of Andersonville, one of the most notorious Confederate prisons for captured soldiers of the North.

Farewell Address To The Glarnese Emigrants Bound For New Glarus, April 15, 1845, Casper Jenny

Swiss American Historical Society Review

What our forefathers, who now rest in God, tried about 130 years ago, namely to organi7.e an emigration of Glarnese people, has now after many efforts become a reality in the fifth decade of the nineteenth century. On the 16th of April 1845, 196 citizens are leaving the homeland that is so dear to all of us, to seek under the guidance of the Emigration Society, which was founded in the year 1844, a new fatherland across the Atlantic Ocean. In order to safeguard all the best interests of the emigrants, the committee has seen fit to appoint two men …

From Visiting Scholar To Immigrant: A Memoir, Gustav T. Durrer

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In younger years, with youthful optimism, one tends to project the future on a fairly straight line. Life usually alters that course. Circumstances change, and we change with them. Events in and around us shape our destiny. Roadblocks and crossroads force us to choose an unplanned route. 1939-45 was such a time when many lives were drastically changed, due to the dramatic developments in Europe and the Far East. These events were to alter the course of my life also.
